From Hedgesville:

Went to the Cruize-In last night in Berkeley Springs and met Natalie Tennant who was out cruising for votes. I wish she was a breath of fresh air but found her to be the same old, same old. Then I read the article about her in The Journal and one thing I have to agree with her is she does have a big mouth. As to a plan, they all have plans but can't agree to anything.

From Middleway:

It's a shame that Obama had to represent the U.S. at the D-Day Memorial ceremonies in France. Why should someone who shows such disrespect for the military be the one to represent the U.S. at a ceremony to remember the greatest military campaign of all time?

From Martinsburg:

I now wish I had reported back in February when I sent Valentine cards to my grandchildren and great-grandchildren that money had been taken out of two of the cards. One at a Martinsburg address and the other with a Berkeley Springs address. I have family out of state and now will be more cautious when I send birthday cards and recently a graduation card. After reading about other incidents, I am now more concerned about safe mail delivery.

From Jefferson County:

With our government trillions of dollars in debt, and the taxpayers being pressed, why do they keep spending millions and millions of dollars to change the design on quarters? We were able to get by with the same design for years, only changing the date.

From Airport Road:

It appears to me that our worthless president does what he wants to do. Releasing five criminals and receiving one criminal back. That's good reason for impeachment. Come on, Congress. Do your job. Impeach him!

From Martinsburg:

I attended the Relay for Life in Martinsburg Saturday as a survivor. All I can say is, it was delightful. It was well organized, and the spectators honoring the survivors were so polite and helpful. Children clapped for us! Families attended to support all of us. This is my eighth time, and each year it becomes more rewarding. Thank you to all the organizers and volunteers. Even thank you to the weather! It was a gorgeous day.

From Martinsburg:

David F. Cooper's column (June 8) tells us that "global-warming/climate-change" is settled science. Yeah, settled "junk-science." I fly planes too, and my scientists tell me the earth's temperature hasn't changed for several decades; in fact, they say it's cooling slightly. But to top off his silliness, he begs BH Obama to limit the population growth. Just how does he think that will happen? Start more wars? Mandate abortions? Mass forced migrations to the moon? How, huh?

From Martinsburg:

Please be honest. If President Obama was a Republican, would you demand that he resign? Would you push for impeachment? He has committed crime after crime against the American governing system. Why is he not being held accountable?
